CARTER LEE

​

Relson Gracie RSA

Brown Belt

Carter started Jiu-Jitsu with Relson Gracie while attending law school in 1996. After taking a break to pursue family and career obligations, he wholeheartedly resumed his training exclusively at the Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu - Ronn Shiraki Academy in 2009. Carter has a wealth of knowledge in the martial-arts and was a former Assistant Instructor under the legendary Jonathan Vance of the Universal Kempo-Karate academy where he ultimately obtained the rank of Second Degree Black Belt. He was also the National Officer Safety Instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Charleston, South Carolina where he further developed his expertise in hand-to-hand combat and weapon retention. Carter is currently the Lead Officer Safety Instructor for the U.S. Probation Office, District of Hawaii and is certified in: response tactics, edged weapons, restraints, and tactical firearm movement and handling. Working towards continued improvement within the Relson Gracie system, we are fortunate to have a person of his experience and demeanor to head our Relson Gracie Self-Defense course held every Saturday. Carter is also a shredder and can be seen throwing chunks at Sandy Beach and Ala Moana but doesn't mind if you drop in on him.
